More Info:

Biological target: Trifarotene (CD5789) is a selective RARγ agonist that shows ∼65-fold and ∼16-fold selectivitiy for the RARγ (EC50=7.7 nM) over RARα (EC50=500 nM) and RARβ (EC50=125 nM), respectively.
In vitro activity: The objective of this study was to characterize the in vitro metabolism and pharmacology of the novel retinoid trifarotene. In vitro assays determined efficacy, potency and selectivity on RARs, as well as the activity on the expression of retinoid target genes in human keratinocytes. Trifarotene is a selective RARγ agonist with > 20-fold selectivity over RARα and RARβ. Trifarotene is active and stable in keratinocytes but rapidly metabolized by human hepatic microsomes, predicting improved safety. Reference: Br J Dermatol. 2018 Aug;179(2):442-456. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29974453/
In vivo activity: In vivo, trifarotene 0·01% applied topically is highly comedolytic and has anti-inflammatory and antipigmenting properties. Gene expression studies indicated potent activation of known retinoid-modulated processes (epidermal differentiation, proliferation, stress response, retinoic acid metabolism) and novel pathways (proteolysis, transport/skin hydration, cell adhesion) in ex vivo and in vivo models Reference: Br J Dermatol. 2018 Aug;179(2):442-456. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29974453/
